Here's another alternative:

I bought one of these last time and it seemed to be an OK piece. I'm changing mine once a year - lots of dust, sand and pollen down our way.

I did my cabin filter today. Quite easy. I didn't move the wiper up so the vent panel didn't come up too far, but I wiggled the filter out of there. It was dirty. And the guy at one Ford dealer told me he didn't think I had one!

What I did was went to a pet store bought a sheet of carbon sheet used to cut your own filters I made one same size as the filter and put it in as well I think it helps keep brake dust and seidel smoke out better

Not a bad idea. Hopefully I'll have time to do this in the next week or so. I'm wont be surprised if the filter is as black as night with all kinds of crap in it.

Thanks to Taco Bill for posting these pics. Excellent work on your part and saved me from the dealeship.
It took me about 15 mins to get at the filter and I sucked out at least three inches of water from the reservoir below the filter. I also removed the stupid clogged up rubber grommet covering the drain hole.
I took some pics if anyone is interested.

Scott,

I'm curious about that that clogged up rubber grommet, pics/explanation?

Thanks once again to Tacobill for a great writeup, my car has 65k (bought car with 38k)and just replaced my cabin filter and WOW that thing was dirty. Napa has the WIX cabin filters for $20, autozone has STP cabin filters for $10. Anyway, thanks again Tacobizzle!

Just thinking out of the box.
I have heard a lot about people using normal home furnace filters to make their own filters, and they use left over materials to make something new, I think it's a great way to think out of the box and save a couple of bucks. Have you tried it already? If so, can you please let me know how well it works, I am looking into doing this.
